SYRACUSE, N.Y. —

The former Syracuse elementary school aide who admitted to sexually exploiting children has been sentenced to 60 years behind bars.

After that, Emily Oberst will be subject to a lifetime of supervision.

That was the decision made when Oberst appeared in federal court Tuesday morning. According to officials Oberst made and distributed sexual images of children back in 2011 and 2014. They say it happened at her home and on school property at All Saints Elementary, where she worked.

Authorities say she sent the images to 41-year-old Jason Kopp of Liverpool, who was sentenced to 235 years in prison last September.
